s/operating system/platform

Good luck getting PyInstaller to output for Windows when being run on
a *nix box.

you think virtualbox could help? i wonder if one could run linux/
py2exe virtually on a win machine and get it working.

Of course that works, a virtual windows machine is just a windows

Doesn't py2exe works under wine ? I have had great success building
windows installers on linux through wine (although not with py2exe),
